A mighty one, was Sir Timothy, who stood proudly, protecting his family. Guarding the gates to the palace, where, others dare not enter, if he was standing there. A one man army, no soldiers did he lead, no man could outdo him, nor his trusty steed. His honor, to stand fast, against all invaders, tis why the country dubbed him, their Great Crusader.

Rumor has it, he often returns on the eve, of the battle that took him, caused his loved ones to grieve.  Though they dare not look upon him, this noble man of King Gawain, for sunken eyes and bony cheeks, are all that remain.  Sir Timothy, they claim, will visit, from time to time, made known by the church bell’s melancholic chime.

Against a hazy backdrop, they kissed until they couldn’t breathe. He knew she had to go, but he wouldn’t let her leave. Under the blossoming cherry tree, he professed his love, hoping, she would not flee. Still she moved away from him, afraid she would stay forever, which was his idea, all along, indeed, it was rather clever.

The sun was setting quietly, behind them, where they stood, not taking any chances, he kissed her, again, and kissed her good. She kissed him back quiet gingerly, then with a passion, sure; staying in his loving arms, was truly his allure.

It’s always exciting when one of your readers leaves a review for your book.  Since I’m always forgetting to check Amazon UK, I was reminded to do so.  Here is the review.  Thank you so very much!

A lovely 5 Star review of my book, “Short & not always Sweet“.

Another treat from Dorinda

A lovely collection of stories, ideas and sentiments. Pieces range from as few lines to a few pages, each a blossoming element within a vivid garden worth closer inspection. ‘He watched me drown ‘ was a favourite but there are loads of different ideas to enjoy and many feelings like they could blossom into even prettier things.

Colors taken from my eyes, black and white before me; memories sway under clouded skies, how I long for this to restore me. Amazed by how it still stands there, tall, though bowed in the middle, such grace; I’m pretty sure eventually, I’ll fall, while this house still stands in its place. Structured to last throughout the storms, its life perseveres, timeless; my only hope is to me, it warms, so I may cling to its fortitude, with kindness.

*****

To follow the path of the once, so grand, the home where I grew, I return to; I no longer own this land, although, truly, I desperately yearn to. Instead, I walk the grounds at night, afraid of the light of day; tis why my world is in black and white, and how it will forever stay. Now only spirit, no mortal being, I wander throughout this home, knowing there is no one seeing, I am free to be me…and roam.
